Diehl
Puts Crate Motor in Victory Lane |
|
(May 30, 2008) - Charlie's
Bobcat Service provided the motor and Brian Diehl
provided the talent to place the 9 car in victory lane.
With the GM crate motor in full swing for 2008 it was no
surprise that Brian would take the checkers following a
runner up finish at Winchester. Outside pole sitter Joe
Snodgrass finished a strong second. Pete Neal took the
wheel of the 112 car and made Skippy proud of a third
place run. Kurt Welsh coming off a win last week
finishes forth. The Roy's Body Shop sponsored 44 car
driven by Joe Alder rounds out the top five.

kicked off the 2008 season at Winchester Speedway last
Saturday night. It was the 21 car of Kurt Welsh who
dominated the event. Kurt won his heat race which earned
him the pole position, Welsh wasted no time jumping in
front and staying there to capture the checkers at the
famed Winchester Speedway. The runner up spot was where
the action was, the battle ensued between outside pole
sitter Joe Snodgrass and Bill Brown Sr. early on, then
the 9 car of Brian Diehl joined the group. In the end it
was Diehl who settled into the 2nd place spot followed
by 112 of Brown Sr. Jim Crocker finished 4th and the 35
of Snodgrass held onto 5th. Welsh commented in victory
lane that the race win was dedicated to car owner Lyle
Adcock who is recovering from surgery.

New
Changes for '08 |
|
The Classic Cars held
their annual membership meeting on Sunday, February
10th. The well attended meeting brought about sweeping
changes for 2008. We welcome new comer Jim Palmer, a new
addition to the Board of Directors. Historic changes to
the clubs organization were overwhelmingly adopted which
included, the class forming a Limited Liability
Corporation and beginning a new era by renaming the club
the Classic Racing Series. The new name and corporate
structure will pave the way for not only increased local
exposure, but will impress upon the racing community our
commitment and dedication to the competitive sport. High
standards have been set for 2008, and with a great
committed core group of racers this will be the best
year yet.
